Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about VEGCO | Digital Harvest's hydroponic produce, ordering, delivery, and quality standards.
Is hydroponic produce really pesticide-free?
Yes. VEGCO's controlled hydroponic environment eliminates the need for chemical pesticides entirely. The sealed growing system prevents pests and soil-borne diseases from reaching crops. All produce is lab-tested and verified pesticide-free before delivery, giving you confidence in every purchase.
How fresh is the produce when it arrives?
Very fresh. VEGCO harvests produce within 24 hours of your order and delivers it the same day or next day. This dramatically shorter timeline—compared to traditional grocery supply chains—means your greens arrive at peak freshness with maximum nutrients and flavor intact.
How long does it stay fresh?
Most leafy greens and herbs stay fresh for 5–7 days when stored properly in your refrigerator. Microgreens have a shorter window of 2–3 days for maximum nutritional potency. Store items in the original packaging or a sealed container, away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas.
What's the difference between hydroponic and organic?
Hydroponic produce is pesticide-free and grown without soil, but it is not certified organic. Hydroponic farming offers many of the same benefits as organic—no harmful chemicals, higher nutrient density, and superior freshness—while using less water and enabling year-round production. VEGCO's produce is lab-tested for safety and quality.
Can I customize my membership order?
Absolutely. VEGCO's membership program is designed for flexibility. You can choose your delivery schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or custom), select which products you want, and pause or skip deliveries anytime. This makes it easy to match your produce needs and preferences.

Storage & Preparation Tips
VEGCO's hydroponic produce arrives at peak freshness. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your greens, herbs, and microgreens at their best and maximize every purchase.
Leafy Greens
Storage: Keep in your refrigerator in the original packaging or a sealed container. Store away from ethylene-producing fruits like apples and bananas, which can cause wilting.
Freshness window: Use within 5–7 days for best quality.
Pro tip: Don't wash until you're ready to use. Excess moisture reduces shelf life. Rinse just before eating or cooking.
Use cases: Salads, wraps, smoothies, sautéing, and juicing.
Fresh Herbs
Storage: Store like fresh flowers—place stems in a glass of water, cover loosely with a plastic bag, and refrigerate. Alternatively, wrap in a damp paper towel and seal in a container.
Freshness window: Stays vibrant for 1–2 weeks when stored properly.
Pro tip: Basil prefers room temperature; keep it out of the fridge if you'll use it within a few days.
Use cases: Cooking, garnishing, teas, pestos, and fresh sauces.
Microgreens
Storage: Keep in the refrigerator in the original container or a sealed, breathable bag. Do not wash; they're ready to eat as-is.
Freshness window: Consume within 2–3 days for maximum nutrition and crunch.
Pro tip: Microgreens are nutrient-dense superfoods. A small handful packs concentrated vitamins and minerals.
Use cases: Salad toppers, garnishing, smoothie bowls, sandwiches, and soups.
Exotic Vegetables
Storage: Store in the refrigerator in the original packaging or a sealed container, separate from leafy greens and herbs.
Freshness window: Typically 7–10 days, depending on the variety.
Pro tip: Check your delivery notes for specific storage instructions for specialty items.
Use cases: Gourmet cooking, specialty dishes, restaurant-quality plating, and adventurous recipes.
General Storage Best Practices
- Temperature matters: Keep your refrigerator at 35–40°F (1–4°C) for optimal freshness.
- Humidity control: Most greens and herbs thrive in a humid environment. Sealed containers or bags help retain moisture.
- Separate storage: Keep ethylene-producing fruits (apples, bananas, avocados) away from greens and herbs to prevent premature wilting.
- Wash before use: Hydroponic produce from VEGCO is clean and lab-tested, but rinse gently before eating to remove any residual moisture or dust.
- Plan your meals: Use faster-perishable items (microgreens, delicate herbs) first, then move to heartier greens.
